5. ADJUSTMENT AND SETTING UP

5.1 Adjustment
Adjustment of the height of cut is obtained by shifting the flail head roller in order to
suit the material to be cut and the required degree of chopping (see illustration
below).
IMPORTANT: Flails must never touch the ground.

6. USE AND OPERATING RULES

6.1 Starting

Before using the shredder check the tightness of all bolts and the integrity of all
guards. Check that the number of revolutions and the rotational direction of the
power takeoff of the tractor correspond to those required by the machine see decal on
the gearbox (see page 9). Engage the power takeoff at low engine RPM to avoid
damaging the transmission gearbox and belts.

6.2 Working mode

• Adjust the machine to suit the type of work to be done and the material to be cut:
adjust the height of cut, as shown (see illustration above).
• Working speed is chosen to suit the material to be cut and the degree of chopping
required. The optimum speed ranges from 3 to 8 km per hour.
6.3 Side shift - Non-hydraulic models

proceed as follows:
• Unscrew the connecting bow.
• Bore the holes on marked points. (upper cover already has got the holes).
